Invitații la eveniment, care a fost moderat de Iulian Groza, Director Executiv IPRE, au discutat necesitatea unei eventuale noi concepții a politicii externe, importanța sincronizării eforturilor diplomației moldovenești cu viziunea Președintei Republicii Moldova pentru a asigura mai multă consecvență și previzibilitate a politicii externe, precum și care ar putea fi principalele priorități imediate ale politicii externe în relațiile țării, în particular, cu Ucraina și România, Uniunea Europeană, Statele Unite ale Americii și Federația Rusă. Iar, atunci când apar divergențe este foarte greu să asiguri continuitatea politicii externe”. Cristina Gherasimov, Cercetătoare, DGAP, Berlin: „Problema numărul unu în politica externă a Republicii Moldova este că suntem izolați internațional de realitățile zilei curente. Nu am auzit de demult discuții pe direcții și obiective concrete ale politicii externe moldovenești, precum și planul de acțiuni pentru a le atinge. Cred că următoarele șase luni sunt decisive pentru Moldova și politica externă.
